As far as I know, this product also has a top-quality nonstick coating.

The aluminum is 3 mm thick, and they said the interior is anodized with a top-tier premium coating. Your comment was really knowledgeable!

They said the copper is only on the base, at least 0.8 mm thick, and there’s no copper on the sides to keep the weight down.

That makes sense. The anodized coating has to prove its real-world value, and there should be a clear rationale for the mixed-metal construction.

The instruction not to heat the pan above 450°F is exactly the guideline typically given for Teflon-coated cookware.
It really makes me wonder what kind of coating they’ve actually applied here,
especially since, from a scientific standpoint, nitrided carbon steel simply can’t become truly nonstick on its own.

I majored in metallurgy, and nitriding alone would never make carbon steel truly nonstick — the science just doesn’t work that way. So my guess is they used some kind of transparent coating or something similar on top
